Week 2

I would have to say the hardest part about the drumming this week was that when I heard someone start to get off beat, my ear tries to make me match what others are playing. Playing by yourself is easier because you don't have to be in sync with other members and slight adjustments in tempo don't really affect you because you're the only one playing.

The trick I used to help myself was simply to tap my foot to the steady quarter note of the tempo we were playing in (assuming what we were playing was in 4/4). It's always helped in the 8 years I've played trumpet and piano, and it worked for the drumming too.
